EARLY NORTH SEA STANDBY VESSELS BRITISH TRAWLERS, CONVERTED TO OIL RIG STANDBY VESSELS

Robert F West

In 1965, the North Sea oil industry was in its infancy. From the year of the first offshore activity in 1962, until that year, the need for offshore rig safety and rescue vessels had not been adequately identified. However, a disaster in 1965 was to bring the need for such vessels sharply into focus.

SEA GEM

In 1965, the Jack up rig Sea Gem was contracted by BP to drill a series of exploration wells in the Southern North Sea. On completion of a well in December 1965, the Sea Gem was preparing to be moved to a new location.

However, before this could happen, the Sea Gem collapsed and sank on 27th December 1965. The result of this disaster was the loss of thirteen men. Were it not for the rescue efforts of the cargo vessel Baltrover, it's likely many more, if not all the crew, would have also been lost.

From this disaster, it was quickly identified there was a need for dedicated rescue vessels to remain in constant attendance, at all offshore oil rigs & platforms. Subsequently, the need for these vessels to remain in constant readiness has been made law.

In the early sixties, it was quickly realised that the British side trawling fleet was the ideal provider for these rescue vessels. From this period, through the seventies and early eighties, the British side trawling fleet were no longer economically viable. This was due to declining fish stocks, EU quotas, closure of traditional fishing grounds and rising fuel prices. So for both the trawler owners, crews and oil companies alike, there was an ideal answer for all their needs.

The vessels themselves were easily converted. Initially, all that was required was the removal of their fishing gear. Plus the addition of an inflatable rescue vessel and the conversion of the fish room into survivor accommodation.

As well as a very simple conversion, the side trawlers were ideal vessels in the hostile North Sea. They were very seaworthy. They had a low freeboard, which enabled relatively easy recovery of inflatable rescue vessels and survivors. They also had sufficient endurance, which would enable them to spend up to six weeks at sea. Plus, there was also sufficient crew available.

In subsequent years, the vessels became more advanced with the addition of better semi rigid rescue craft, better recovery systems and other design features. In turn, crew training was given greater emphasis. Over the following years, these vessels and crews saved numerous lives.

In the mid-1970s the continued demise of the British Fishing industry was worsened by the closure of distant water fishing grounds to British vessels. For the recently built freezer and wet fish stern trawlers this could have been disastrous and would have quickly led them to the breakers.

However, as the North Sea oil industry moved from the exploration phase to the production phase, the smaller side trawler was often inadequate for the task of providing rescue cover to the large production platforms coming into existence. This was generally due to the small size of the typical side trawler and the large size of a production platform crew.

So a more suitable vessel was needed to provide safety cover for these production platforms. Fortunately, the stern trawlers and in particular the larger freezer trawlers were more suitable for the task and they were quickly adapted for this new role.

In general these vessels could offer more survivor accommodation, better medical facilities and larger rescue vessels with better launch and recovery systems. They were also able to offer, basic fire fighting and pollution control capabilities. As well as these benefits, they generally offered a more stable platform for providing these services.

On the evening of July 6th 1988, the Piper Alpha production platform in the central North Sea was destroyed by an explosion and fire. One hundred and sixty seven men died as a result. Sixty two men were rescued by various vessels within the vicinity. However, one later died of his injuries.

From the subsequent inquiry, it was identified that the dedicated standby vessel Silver Pit, was wholly insufficient to deal with the disaster. The survivor facilities on board the Silver Pit were inadequate, while the manoeuvrability of the vessel was poor.

However, in recognition of their efforts during the rescue operation, 4 crew members of Silver pit’s fast rescue craft received the George Medal for bravery. These crew members were, crew members Charles Alexander Haffey, James Herbert Clark, Andrew James Kiloh & coxswain James Paul McNeill. These awards of this prestigious medal, proved the crew themselves were not inadequate.

Three crew members of the more modern rescue vessel Sandhaven also received awards of the George Medal. These awards were to members of Sandhaven's fast rescue craft. Two of the awards were posthumous; these awards were to crewmembers, Malcolm Storey & Brian Batchelor. The other award was to the fast rescue boat coxswain, Ian Letham.

The awards graphically illustrate, the dangers fast rescue boats crews’ were exposed too, and of the bravery of the men who manned them.

PIPER ALPHA, on the evening of July 6th 1988. The semi-submersible emergency response vessel MSV Tharos and the standby vessel Silver pit are in close proximity.

Subsequent legislation, as the result of lessons learned from this incident, finally sounded the death knell of the British ex-side trawler standby vessel. By 1992, ex side trawlers virtually disappeared from the North Sea, leaving the more suitable ex stern trawlers to continue as stand by vessels.

Although, these ex stern trawler conversions have proved adequate for the task of providing rescue services in the North Sea, they themselves have been replaced by purpose built stand by vessels, which bear little resemblance to the early stand by vessels.

The following 306 standby vessels are the ones which were converted from British side and stern trawlers. These vessels provided a valuable and essential rescue service in the North Sea. After more than 50 years of production and exploration in the North Sea, many hundreds of offshore workers owe their lives to this valuable rescue service.

GRAMPIAN ENDEAVOUR, ON CLOSE STANDBY AT THE NORTH WEST HUTTON PRODUCTION PLATFORM.

Ex side trawlers, such as Grampian Endeavour were only built to accommodate a small crew, which generally numbered no more than 12 men.

However, when they were converted to standby boats, they had to be substantially altered to accommodate over 10 times this amount.

As North Sea production platforms often had a crew numbering over 250 men. Standby boats had to be able to accommodate this large platform crew in an emergency. Albeit, in some some discomfort.

To accommodate such a large number, the fish hold was converted into survivor accommodation. However, this merely entailed providing basic seating for survivors. As well as providing basic medical facilities for casualties.

The type of weather in the picture above, was a rarity in the North Sea.

The picture below, shows a more typical type of day in the North Sea.

ST MARK, SINKING IN THE NORTH SEA ON 6th AUGUST 1990. The sinking is testament to the fact these vessels were not themselves immune to the hazards of the North Sea. This sinking was the result of a collision with an unlit barge. St Mark sank 6 minutes after the collision. Only a few days previous, the crew had rescued the crew from another vessel in distress. Fortunately, on both occasions, there was no loss of life.

A BRISTOW’S BELL 212 HELICOPTER, PREPARING TO WINCH UP 2 MEN FROM SUFFOLK VENTURER, IN 1982. The 2 men had been rescued by the crew of the standby vessel, after falling overboard from the semi-submersible drilling rig Sedco 700. The 2 men had been working on the starboard flare boom of the rig, when it collapsed into the sea. Due to the fact that, all operations involving over side work always meant that standby vessels were on close standby. The 2 men were recovered in less than 5 minutes. This was in spite of difficult sea conditions, which caused the men to drift a considerable distance from the rig. This incident gives testament to the skills and training of the crews, who manned these vessels.

THE FOREDECK OF CAM CIVET. THE FOREDECK OF CAM TIGER.

The fast rescue vessels, as shown, were expected to be in the water in 3 minutes or less. The casualty was then expected to be on board in less than 5 minutes. In spite of at times, very difficult sea conditions this was usually achieved. In the cold waters of the North Sea, any longer than these times could mean the casualties in the water would not survive. Because of excellent response times, many men owe their lives to the professionalism of the crews of these fast rescue vessels.

THE FOREDECK OF COLNE PHANTOM.

A TYPICAL FAST RESCUE BOAT, AS USED IN THE NORTH SEA.
